Dice pumpkin, carrot, marrows, parsnip, chuck in a handful of spinach leaves, finely chop the broccoli then toss in with a triple axle twist and a flick of your wrist.

Please don't indulge in your purple carrot or beetroot fetish with this dish as you'll end up with something that looks like it's from Silence of The Lambs.

Fill pot with coconut milk, stir, bring to the boil, let simmer for 30 mins then turn off the heat and let sit with the lid on as it will continue to cook (and let you get on with building the yacht in the backyard).

Serve on a bed of fluffy rice you boiled to death in chicken stock, garnish with finely chopped parsley and spring onions.

Mmmmm, curry. I'll have to try this one, but not until the next long weekend, so my belly has time to recover.I have a really old Lamb Curry recipe that states: "Curry is always prepared on a Tuesday for eating on Wednesday. For some reason or other it does not taste the same on other days".From memory the first mouthful isn't so bad, but by the time you've swallowed it your mouth is on fire.
